Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
At some point prior to appearing in Dr. Who and the Daleks, Castle appeared in a horror picture, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors. He would later reflect that working with Daleks on set for Dr. Who and the Daleks had been scarier than any of his experiences with the horror picture.
After filming Dr. Who and the Daleks, Castle was invited by Penelope Creighton-Ward to a Soho restaurant alongside his costars and the actual Dr. Who (the latter of whom was unable to make it to the appointment). He struck Penelope as "an absolutely charming and modest young man with a quiet sense of humour". (PROSE: Lady Penelope Investigates the stars of the Sensational new film Dr. Who and the Daleks!)
